Duluth Wheat.
Special to the Globe.

DULUTH Sept. 17.-There was very dull
market to-day. Early in the morning it was
firm and steady, but soon eased off, and DUR
ing the rest of the session was rather weak.
The news from outside was of no particular
influence, other markets being like ours.
Clearances from the seaboard are ruling very
light, while receipts keep up about the same
from day to day. In the Northwest the move
ment is becoming heavier. Minneapolis is
still receiving the bulk of the wheat, her re-
eelpts for the present week averaging about
100000 bushels a day, against $4,000 to
10000 bushels at Duluth. The indications
point, however, to an increase here, and in
another week or so we ought to be getting
our share of the wheat market The propor,
ton of damp wheat is not nearly SO great as
it was week ago. and in fu-
ture the trade bids fair to be well
out in a short time if farmers can
get better weather. In the last half hour the
market was very weak, No hard selling off
ssc to l2c. Wheat was freely offered, but
buyers were scarce, except at still lower fig
ures than it was offered. Minneapolis broke
to-day to 6SSBc for October. Their market at
one time was &c or more over our market,
but this break carries it lower than ours and
for the rest of the year Duluth will probably
be higher market Cash wheat, 5 cars No.
hard sold at 70Ac, 1 car at zoe l car
Northern at 6SAc and car at CSC. At the
close No. hard was 697sc sellers. October

for demand. The stock market was dull to-
day. and presented even less feature than
usual of late. The temper OF the room was
still conservatively bullish in thelearly hour,
and while the larger operators were doing
nothing London had few buying orders in
its speclalties, and the prevailing good feel
ing advanced prices all around. The selling
was entirely by the professionals who put
out few fresh lines upon the late advance.
The bank statement, uhowever, was a disap-
pointment to the bulls who had anticipated
favorable showing, and a revulsion of feel
ing took place upon its appearance. The
traders Immediately began to sell the market
and IN the short time remaining nearly
wiped out the gains of the first hour, the
pressure being especially heavy in the coal
stocks. There was quiet opening, which,
however, was strong at advances, extending
were made in the first half hour, which
ranged up to "a per cent. After the early de-
mands were supplied the market receded
and became almost stagnant and entirely de-
void of feature of any kind. But upon the
appearance of the bank statement, became
animated Immediately and moved off rap
idly. The lowest prices of the day were
generally reached just before the close, and
in some stocks slight rallies occurred, but the
close was weak. though dull. Closing prices

A History of Turner, Maine, From its Set
Element to 1886. By Rev. w. R. French.
ID. ID. Local historians are doing a good
work in compiling histories like this of
Turner, which treats in somewhat concise
manner of the beginning and progress Of one
OF the important towns of our State, town
which has produced large number of dis
tinguished citizens for its size. The book
contains valuable matter, especially of a gen.
ealogical nature, and will interest greatly
those who are connected with the families
mentioned in it, Some Of the Illustrations,
are hardly up to the demand of the time, in
artistic excellence, and it lacks what is now
considered indispensable in such books, an
index of persons, places and subjects; but we
should be thankful for what we have; for
work like this is generally labor of love,
and not pecuniarily remuneratiye cortland /:

Some Very CROWDED Places.

Wateryille Is showing unmistakable evil
dences Of growth into city if the Mail has
estimated correctly the population of that
small corner of the beautiful village, which
Is known as the Head of the Falls"
The population is composed of immi-
grants from Canada or the descendants of
such immigrants. Their houses, SO the Mail
relates, are surrounded with stables, barns,
hen coops and piggeries too numerous to
mention, and so graded from hen coop to
house that it is hard to distinguish where
one ends and the other begins" All these
buildings, from hen coop to house, are as a
rule densely populated. In one small house
OF two rooms. each about ten feet square, and
low attic, there are two families of nine
members each-eighteep in all under one
comprehensive roof. The population of this
smail area the Mail estimates at one hundred
10 tne acre In the crowded tenement dis
tricts OF some Of the great cities, one hum
dred to the acre is not an excessive popula-
ton but for Maine village it is certainIv
remarkable. In the lower wards of New
York city, which are very nearly. II NOT
quite, the most populous spots on the face of
the earth, the population to the acre is not
five times greater than the estimate of the
Mail for the crowded portion Of its own viii
lage. And yet, in New York there are in
stead of cottages with two rooms and
an sattic, towering tenements OF many
stories. In the Sixth ward of New York,
where the buildings on Pell Mulberry and
Baxter streets are crowded with Chinese,
Italians and Jews, the population is estimat-
cd at four hundred and sixty-eight persons
to the acre In the most thickly settled por-
